I lived in Brisbane nearly through the whole of the 90s. Love the city to death, but couldn't stand the heat. Auckland is more mild / colder, which I love.

Yeah it's a nice city now the southern and northern banks of the river are really amazing now they've developed everything, would like to go to NZ myself.

We have been renovating the original gym. It is looking like a gallery now and will continue to get better.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

I even did an Arnold wall.

Lots of new equipment, still with some good old stuff. If any of you are ever in Melbourne, drop in.

Fuck there a lot of Aussies on getbig!

Because it's pretty basic stuff, any real man would know it is Acrylic primer and paint.

Aye, they have no equipment, though.  24:7 means nothing to most people, a decent gym is more the issue.

yeah mate..  I used to go to Fitness First because there's no gym around but those fuckin franchise.

I then quit FF and joined Jetts, which was newly opened next to my suburb.

As you said, not enough equipments..

If you got drunk once in brisbane, you probably know more than me, I don't go out (I do not like drunks, one bit) - so I wouldn't know.

yeah.. I hated the Valley.. disgust

Funny, ran into a woman i used to work with who just came back from Brisbane, was there 20 months, said she couldn't stand it, after saying it 3 times i asked why, she said it's full of bogans.

and she used to live in Blacktown  ;)

Depends on where she lives.. Certain suburbs are bogan infested like Logan, Ipswich, etc..

24 hour keytag gyms are opening like crazy in australia.

They can make money due to the minimal staffing required but they tend to be in smaller buildings and with most people wanting cardio the tradeoff is specialised strength equipment like standing leg curls, hack squats, t bars, decline bench press etc.

The one I go to has no calf equipment or lower back extension bench but it's nice to be able to train at ten pm on a sunday night though...

We just work around people, most of our members like progress so it works out. Even with the big renovation in the city we stayed open. It meant moving the equipment 4 times, thems the breaks.

I only had one guy complain. I had honored his membership from the old shapes gym. He had never paid anything to me so I told him to hop it, come back when it is finished ..... he didn't like that so I told him to fuck off..... haha
